Community Chorus Announces Change in Semester Plans

Midcoast Community Chorus (MCC) wishes to announce significant changes and events pertaining to its upcoming Fall Semester and traditional January concert.  Because of the sudden illness of our irreplaceable Artistic Director Steven Weston, MCC’s Board of Directors made the decision to take a hiatus from performing this winter semester. 

Therefore:

Registration has been CANCELLED for the Mondays of September 16 and 23, as well as on-line. Those who have already registered and paid the membership fee will be contacted individually to arrange for reimbursement.

MCC will not have performances this semester by either Chorus or Chorale. January concerts will not take place. 

We are still planning to meet as a singing community on Monday, September 16th at 6:00 pm at The First Congregational Church, 55 Elm Street, Camden, the usual rehearsal space for MCC.

This decision holds the intention to allow for Steve Weston’s journey of recovery and to continue to afford regular singing opportunities for members - past, present and future. We all look forward to Steve’s return next semester.

The Community Sing of Monday, September 16th will be both a tribute to and celebration of Steve.  It will also be the first of monthly community sings for everyone, perhaps linked to a pot luck dinner.  We will sing old favorites, songs from our library, requests from members, holiday songs, and the like. Most important, we will sing for the fun of it! As for musical leadership, talented folks in our community will try their hand at conducting.  For this special sing on the 16th, we will have music ready and Sean Fleming will be our accompanist. There is the possibility of videotaping it to forward to Steve. We will stay and sing until the music runs out! Come and join us!

Midcoast Community Chorus (MCC) is a vibrant and dynamic non-profit organization providing choral programs for all ages and all voices.

We believe :

• the voice is the sound of the soul
  
• all voices deserve to be heard
• singing together builds community

We welcome all ages and voices to sing with us or become a member. We perform at least two concerts a year in June and January. Our concerts typically sell out and we donate the proceeds from our June concert to a chosen non-profit beneficiary doing important work in our community.
